here's how my ppp files are setup. if you need a ppp-go and ppp-off i can post that, too.

replace the stuff in brackets <>'s with what it needs

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
<useid>         *       <password>

/etc/ppp/ppprc.cua0:
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' '\n\n' '' AT OK AT<modem init string>
OK ATDT<number> CONNECT

/etc/ppp/options:
lock
asyncmap 0
bsdcomp 15,15
lcp-echo-interval 30

/etc/ppp/options.cua0
crtscts
bsdcomp 15,15
defaultroute
name <userid>
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/ppprc-pap.cua0'

Here are my config files:
$ cd /etc/ppp
$ cat options
lock
asyncmap 0
/dev/modem
38400
defaultroute
connect /etc/ppp/dial.modem
disconnect /etc/ppp/disconnect.modem
$ cat dial.modem
#!/bin/sh

# 
# This script is used to dial a modem using a specific
# number.
#

/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat.secrets
$ cat disconnect.modem
#!/bin/sh

#
# 
# This script is used to disconnect the modem.
#
# It assumes the modem will respond back to a 
# command state by the "+++" sequence. 
#

/usr/sbin/chat "" "\p+\p+\p+\c" '' "\d\dATH0" 
$ cat chat.secrets
"" "\n" "" "AT" "OK" "ATM0DT555-1212" "CONNECT" "" "name:" "jonh" "word:" 
"password" "granted" "ppp"

Here are some more config files:
$cd /etc/ppp
$more options (This is the options file)
nodetach
asyncmap 0
defaultroute
/dev/modem
19200
connect /etc/ppp/dial.modem

(The nodetach in the file above means that pppd will hold on to the window 
it was launched in.  Use control-C to close the ppp connection.  Also remember
to make a link: ln -s /dev/cua0 /dev/modem.  You can change the 19200 number to
reflect the speed you want to connect at.)

$more dial.modem (This is the dial.modem file)
#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/number

$more number (This is the modem init and number file)
"" "\n" "" "ATZ" "OK" "ATDT111-1111" "CONNECT" "" "" "" "ogin:" 
"your_login" "word:" "your_password"  

(Change 111-1111 to your ISP's number and put in your login and password)

You can connect by typing pppd.
